The 777 first entered commercial service with United Airlines on June 7, 1995. The 777-200LR is the world’s longest-range airliner, able to fly more than halfway around the globe, and holds the record for the longest distance flown non-stop by a commercial aircraft. The extended-range 777-300ER and ultra long-range 777-200LR variants entered service in 20 respectively, while the 777F, a freighter version, debuted in February 2009 these variants all feature high-output GE90 engines and extended raked wingtips. The initial 777-200, -200ER and -300 versions are equipped with General Electric GE90, Pratt & Whitney PW4000, or Rolls-Royce Trent 800 engines. The original 777-200 variant entered commercial service in 1995, followed by the extended-range 777-200ER in 1997. The 777 is produced in two fuselage lengths as of 2014. It was also the first commercial aircraft to be designed entirely with computer-aided design. As Boeing’s first fly-by-wire airliner, it has computer-mediated controls. Developed in consultation with eight major airlines, the 777 was designed to replace older wide-body airliners and bridge the capacity difference between Boeing’s 767 and 747. Commonly referred to as the “Triple Seven”, its distinguishing features include the largest-diameter turbofan engines of any aircraft, six wheels on each main landing gear, fully circular fuselage cross-section, and a blade-shaped tail cone. It is the world’s largest twinjet and has a typical seating capacity for 314 to 396 passengers, with a range of 5,240 to 8,555 nautical miles (9,704 to 15,844 km). The Boeing 777 is a family of long-range wide-body twin-engine jet airliners developed and manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes.
